Mrs. Gorf uses magic to turn children into apples. Think of another story where magic is used. Use a Venn diagram. How are the stories alike? How are they different? Share your diagram with a parent.
On page 64 the chapter about DJ starts. He says, "You need a reason to be sad. You don't need a reason to be happy." Do you think this is TRUE? Talk about it with a parent.
Pick one chapter from this book, and re-tell the story using only pictures - like a comic strip but without words. Share your drawings with a parent.
